What Cannot Be Put In A Skip

It's just as important to know what shouldn't be disposed of in our skips. Certain items are considered hazardous waste and could be dangerous if mixed with general waste. For this reason, we cannot accept the following:

• Asbestos
• Batteries
• Chemicals and paint
• Electrical equipment (e.g., fridges, TVs, and computers)
• Gas canisters
• Medical waste, including needles and other sharps
• Tyres

Hazardous Waste Disposal

If you need to dispose of hazardous or special waste products, we recommend that you contact a specialist waste disposal company. These companies use specialized equipment and personnel to ensure the safe and legal disposal of hazardous waste. You can find details of licensed waste disposal specialists in Derbyshire by checking the Environment Agency's website.

Tips for Using Skips Safely

To ensure that your skip hire project is completed safely and effectively, there are a few important things to keep in mind.

Choose The Right Size Skip

It's important to select the appropriate skip size based on the amount and type of waste you're planning to dispose of. This helps to ensure that the skip doesn't get overloaded with too much waste or become too heavy to lift. Our team of experts can help you choose the right size for your project.

Placement of The Skip

When placing a skip, it's important to consider the placement site. The skip should be placed on a flat and sturdy surface, preferably a driveway or pavement. You should be aware of any potential obstacles that could cause difficulties for the delivery or collection of the skip.

Secure The Skip

When not in use, the skip should be covered with a secure lid to prevent items from being added to or removed from the skip without your permission. This will also prevent animals and other undesirables from accessing your waste.

Do Not Overfill The Skip

Filling the skip beyond the marked fill line is hazardous and illegal as it can cause spillage on the roads or streets. When overloading a skip, you'll have to unload some of its contents before it can be safely recovered.

Load The Skip Safely

To ensure safe disposal of waste, it's important to load the skip carefully. Bulky and heavy items should be placed at the bottom of the skip to provide a solid base for lighter and smaller items. This will prevent the skip from tipping and ensure that the waste is evenly distributed.
